Özet |
Rhipicephalus turanicus is a three-host tick that lives in lowland desert and semi-desert, steppe and open woodlands (Filippova 1997). This species is under discussion due to the morphological, biological and molecular variability of ticks identified as R. turanicus in different countries. For this reason, many records in the literature are currently considered speculative pending confirmation (Guglielmone et al. 2014). Indeed, genetic data indicate that ticks identified as R. turanicus in some regions (e.g. in some African countries) may actually represent different species (Beati and Keirans 2001; Dantas-Torres et al. 2013a). This species feeds on mammals (e.g. rodents, lagomorphs, canids, felids and mustelids), birds and lizards (Filippova 1997; Dantas-Torres et al. 2011, 2013a). Larvae and nymphs have also been found on birds, while the adult stage also occurs on lizards (Filippova 1997). Human infestation has been reported (Filippova 1997). |
